How to fix

Technical details

The PWA API endpoints in Frappe HR's get_all_employees function lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to access employee records beyond their own. An authenticated attacker can request employee data through the API without adequate access controls being enforced. The fix replaces frappe.get_all() with frappe.get_list() to ensure proper permission checking.

Affected products
